How to create a photo book
- Double-click the Photo Books desktop shortcut.
- A welcome dialog will come up. Click Create New Book.
- Now, choose a style of photo book. Choose from Coffee Table Photo Book (minimum 20 pages, maximum 100 pages) or Photographic Album (minimum 14 pages, maximum 30 pages)
- You should now see the Photo Book workspace. Use the Image Browser at the bottom of the workspace to load pictures to use for your photo book. To do so:
- Click the Add Picture or Add Folder (of pictures) icon at the left of the Image Browser. You can then drag & drop pictures directly from the Image Browser and onto your photo book pages.
- If you are using layouts or templates, you can use the Distribute Pictures command (under the Layout menu) to automatically distribute your pictures amongst the pages.
- Toggle between the various page display options seen as tabs on the Image Browser:
- Page Layouts: preset arrangements of picture-ready picture frames. Once applied to a page, you can still rearrange the layout elements any way you choose.
- Page Backgrounds: various colors, textures, and designs you can apply to your pages.
- Picture Borders: borders of various color and thickness you can apply to pictures.
- Templates: themes that can be applied to your entire photo book. Once applied to a page, you can still rearrange the template elements any way you choose.
All of these items can be dragged & dropped directly onto a page (or frame, as the case may be).
- To navigate the pages of your photo book, click the desired page in the Pages Browser. You can also navigate using the navigation arrows located on the toolbar.
- When you’re done designing your photo book, click the Send To London Drugs button to upload your project to our production facilities.
